DR.. MceIynn ExcommunIcotcd.


NShVihuhtl lcicRThlnsD
The "big boycott" has been declared
DIR. McGlynn has been formally excommu-
nicated by name. No charge is made
against Him OF error of doctrine; nothing
is said against his Christian character
The recommendation Ia on the ground,
only, that he did not obey the Pore's sum
mons to appeRrin Rome before the Prop
aganda, at a set time. That summons was
suggesled by charges against linn by Arch
bishop Corrigan, his ecclesiastical superior
who had objected 20 the action Of Dr. Nc
Glynn in supporting Henry George and
lis theories. The Archbishop had the ears
of The Pope and the Cardinals. Before
such tribunal DIR. McGlynn could look foi
nothing but conviction. lie, therefore
discscetly refused TO obey the summons,
which, making no charge, left the door
open for any charge that might be made
In form, the summons to Rome was an ih-
vitalion. In form, the disregard of 1t is
nothing more than discourlesy to for
nal charges in an ecclesiastical court. DR.
McGlynn might be reasonably looked en-
TO make defense but 10 move IN the defen-
sive under vague accusations would be a
sort OF confession OF wrong on his part.
Logically, morally, and as free American
citizen, he could not, therefore, well dc
otherwise than he has done; and the in
telligence of the Catholic Church and free
America generally, will support him in
his position.
The excommunicatiun of DIR. McGlynn
may lead to very Important consequences
Whatever may be the causes assigned for
the act, the attitude of Archbishop Corri-
gan toward DR.. McGlynn, from the begin
ming of the trouble, shows that prelate op'
posed to the social aud political opinions
Of the priest of st. Stephens, New York
and that such opposition was the direct
cause of all orders which have been issued
TO DR.. Mcilynn. While other priests
were, without molesiation or protest, per-
miited to do political work-to canvas and
speak for the Democratic or Republican
parties, Father McGlynn was exceptionally
singled ont for censure, because he chose
TO support neither of the old parties, but
to aid the organization and advance the
cause of a new party. The proudest rishi
of an American citizen Ia freedom OF speech
-untrammeled expression OF opinion, &c
long rs his utterances are not actually re
ditious or do not directly incite 10 violence
The interference of even a resident power
TO suppress free opinion is not brooked by
the American people, therefore, it is mad
ness TO suppose tllat, in this free Republic
there will he many, if any, who will justil,
or tolerate an attempted suppression OF th'
rights of an American citizen IN his Owl
country by foreign power, civil or eccles
iastical. Church law may condemn DIR
McdIynn, but the free statutes of Amer
lea will not, and the hrm sense OF justice o
the American people, Catholic as well a
Protestant, will sustain him.

One OF the lessons taught by the lax ex.
ecution OF law, and the allowing of great
criminals 10 escape, is shown by the lynch
ing OF Christianson at Peru, Ind, Thurs
day morning, and by similar events in
various sections. These summary execu-
tions are simply the indignant protests oil
outraged people against long and hopeless
delays of punishment where 1t is known to
be richly meried-and, indeed, under the
present rule and.praclice this seems TO all
ford about the only guarantees that the
greatest criminals will finally be punished
at ALL When the men who steal hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars and who com
NIT bloody and deliberate murders are
punished AS unsparingly and as promptly
as the petty criminals IN all sections, there
will be fewer cases OF lynching by masked
mobs. And these are facts which courts.
public officials and citizens everywhere
should keep in remembrance. II we wisl,

Maxwell, the ST. Louis murderer, can
moi complain OF the rapid movement OF
Justice; but at last he is in n condition to
realize it is sure If slow. He is to be
hanged on the 18th of August, and will ex'
plate one OF the mos, remarkable murders
in the criminal history Of the country. By
some OF the finest detective work IN the
annals of tracing crime and Furnishing
criminals, Maxwell was traced from ST..
Louis TO Auckland, New Zealand, where he
was followed and arrested by two ST. Louis
detectives, who Travelled over $4,000
miles over sen and land TO effect his cap
ture and bring him back to that city. He
arrived in st. Louis IN custody August
10, 1885, a little over four months after his
fligt from that city. He was convicted OF
murder IN the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged in the early part OF June, 1S'
SO, after one of the most sensational trials
on record, lasting fully four weeks. Since
then he has been fighting the case on legal
points inthe courts, but has at last reached
the end Of his tether by the Judgment O.

WASHINGTON, July II, 1887.


WASHINGTON, July II, 1887.
The people of Washington, especially
the mcdical fraternity, are beginning 10

slaughtering warehouses with his able pen

have read SO much, for they are only nom
inal vaIue-and what Is worse, he made the
Government pay for them at the rate Of
5000 each. This man had charge OF the
settlement OF claims Of military officers on
account of horses lost in army service, and
whenever it suited his purpose TO do SO,
Harvey, would put through claim by II
series or sharp forgeries, and take the mon-
ey. The forgeres really foot up to S52,-
900 but he only realized about $4,000 be-
fore his lascality was exposed. The fallen
clerk confesses his guilt. In such cases
the penalty is ten years iInprisoment, OF
81 900 fine, or both in each case; there
are between one and Two hundred cases
against him.

We would politely, yet firmly, inform
those who pay no attention to bills sent
for indebtedness to this office, that the
eutthroats who interfere with our private
business will have no material effect
in the course of the JOURNAL in advocat.

They may annoy and embarass but they
cannot stop its publication nor deter its
course in the advocacy of truth and JUS

JOURNAL is good paper to take it
ought to be a good paper to pay for,
F,om our earliest recollection we have
endeavored to earn an honest living by
honest work and we have always been
glad to give our kind old mother credit
for most thoroughly impressing this
upon our mind from infancy up. No
one should be compelled to earn money
and then earn it the second time in
efforts to secure it.

A mail and passenger train on the Penn.
sylvania railroad ran through from Al
toona to Pittsburg with crude coal oil for
fuel. There was not lump Of coal nor a
sliek of wood on it, but instead OF tank

veyed through pipes to the furnace. The
experiment is pronounced "a complete
Success" Good time was made, and what
Ii still more interesting to the travelling
public, "there was no annoyance from

on the Labor party ticket, and L. w. Poe,
candidate for State Auditor, we republish
below, verbatim, The majority report OF
the committee who examined The Com
miasioncr's report for 1884, and their find
ings therein. The minority report by
Prosecutor Parker is not yet out but will
be published us soon ms it appears:
INSPECTORS REPORT.
Hon. Henry II. Dodge, judge of the Court OF
Common Pleas OF Wood county, Ohio;
The Committee appointed by You to examine
the report of the Board oi Commissioners OF
wood county, Ohio, for u G year ending the
third Monday in September, 1884, owing to tho
delay In receiving said report, and the pressure
of professional duties, have been unable to give
said report the careful investigation Its i'm.
portancc demands. We submit as the result OF
Our examination the following:
1st. Said report does not relate the financial
transactions of said board for the ycur In this
Thnt II docs not show the levy of taxes for the
year. under general and special laws. 1t does
not show the issuing of about Si35,0O0 OF bonds
for which the county is originally md collatcr.
ally liable. Other important financial transact.
ions, involving very large expenditure oi
money, aro not mentioned in suid report.
2nd. Tho law knows no such fund as n Gen
oral Ditch Fund, as designated in said report
but the law provides for a County General Ditch
Improvement fund, consisting of taxes collected
on county and township levics as provided In
sections 1901 and 1902 revised statutes, and ali
balances remaining unexpended of special ditch
improvement funds arising from excess of MS
scssmcnts on ditch improvements after the ex
pcnScs thereof have been fully paid. See Re
vised Statutes i50S. And the payment of engi
necrs and surveyors ns set forth in said report
out of such designated ditch fund, is unauthor
lied by law.
Sd. Though not apparent on the face of said
report, we learn in the investigation that th,
Commissioners charge per diem and mileage fol
overseeing and looking at county ditch ant
improved road work. after such Improvement
have been finally established and their paymen
provided for, which we think plain violation
of their powers and duty under the laws pro
viding for such improvements, and an unwar
rlnted burden upon the taxpayers, and shoult
at once be discontinued.
4th We find no authority for the employmen
of n Janitor at the court house.
9th. The charge for attending the Commits
sioners Association meeting at Columbus, Ohio
and the allowance of the same by said board is
wholly unauthorized and Illegal.
